This research article presents a study that uses microwave frequencies (ISM band) for treatment of skin cancer by heating the malignant cells on skin with a Microwave Hyperthermia (MWHT) applicator. The proposed MWHT applicator has been designed as an Archimedean Spiral Microstrip Patch Antenna (AMSPA) of dimensions 38 × 38 × 1.64 mm3 backed with a Meshed-shaped AMC (48 × 48 × 3.27mm3) reflector, placed at an optimized distance of 12 mm from AMSPA. The proposed AMSPA is designed as a single spiral resonator and fabricated on FR-4 substrate, excited using a feed network. The proposed AMSPA shows a resonance at 2.5 GHz with an impedance BW of 260 MHz (2.37-2.63 GHz) and peak gain of 3.20 dB with a bidirectional radiation pattern. An AMC is placed at its backside that can be exploited as a phase-compensation surface to attain an in-phase profile for directive emission and improve the BW upto 470 MHz, peak gain to 6.8 dB and also enhance the front-to-back ratio of the radiating antenna with radiation efficiency of 80%. The simulated environment for hyperthermia analysis is set up using penne's Bio-Heat equations to deliver microwave energy to the bio-mimic, that leads to a rise in temperature over the designed bio-mimic in CST MWS in the range of 41-45°C. The validation of MWHT radiation properties and temperature rise inside the malignancy of phantom is carried out by fabricating the bio-mimic using gelatine, vegetable oils and glycerol. This set up enhances the penetration-depth of EM waves inside the tri-layered phantom up-to 29.5 mm with Effective Field Surface of 36 × 36 mm and SAR of 8 W/Kg.
本研究文章介绍了一项使用微波频率(ISM 频段)通过微波热疗(MWHT) applicator 加热皮肤恶性细胞来治疗皮肤癌的研究。所提出的 MWHT applicator 被设计为尺寸为 38×38×1.64mm3 的阿基米德螺旋微带贴片天线(AMSPA),背面带有网格状 AMC(48×48×3.27mm3)反射器,放置在距 AMSPA 优化距离为 12mm 的位置。所提出的 AMSPA 设计为单个螺旋谐振器,并在 FR-4 基板上制造,使用馈电网络激励。所提出的 AMSPA 在 2.5GHz 处显示出共振,阻抗带宽为 260MHz(2.37-2.63GHz),峰值增益为 3.20dB,具有双向辐射模式。在其背面放置一个 AMC,可将其用作相位补偿表面,以实现定向发射的同相信号轮廓,并将 BW 提高到 470MHz,峰值增益提高到 6.8dB,同时还通过辐射天线的前向到后向比提高辐射效率至 80%。使用 penne 的生物热方程设置用于向生物模拟体传输微波能量的超热分析模拟环境,导致 CST MWS 中设计的生物模拟体的温度在 41-45°C 范围内升高。通过使用明胶、植物油和甘油制造生物模拟体,对 MWHT 辐射特性和瘤内温度升高进行了验证。该设置通过使用明胶、植物油和甘油制造生物模拟体,将 EM 波在三层叠层 phantom 内的穿透深度提高到 29.5mm,有效场表面为 36×36mm,SAR 为 8W/Kg。
